JERSEY CITY -- Downtown Councilwoman Candice Osborne will not seek a second term in November, ending months of speculation about her political future and upending the Ward E council race five months before Election Day.

Osborne, 38, told The Jersey Journal in an interview that she wants to devote the next year to spending time with her son, who is entering his senior year in high school in September. She anticipates lots of college tours and filling out applications, she said.More

It is obvious that "earthling" is a total misogynist and his/her postings should be disregarded.

what exactly did kandi do to protect the middle class, or poor blacks, while rubber stamping 70 tax giveaways at their expense?

Ditto, I reached out to her on a neighborhood issue, she replied, followed up, etc. The troll comments have no weight, just ignore and hope loser goes away.

Hmm, some would say that it is particularly strange that all of these new posters came out of the woodwork to unite on this one particular issue eh? It almost seems intentional. :)

Try to be more discrete next time, guys. It's painfully transparent.

kandi runs on dismal record, a few point it out in a large city jc is, and conspiracy theory is born.

is she stupid or no, after all? i mean our kandi, not the tv one.

Your misogyny is palpable. If you want to criticize the councilwoman on her record, do so. But your continued personal attacks are offensive - and more of a reflection on you (and the candidates you support) than her.

she failed as many times over. she is so stupid she is unable to argue her point. just review council meetings on youtube. she is handed over task and told fetch. case in point is her ramming no parking in front of marriott at grove path. clearly shows who her masters are.

Clearly, you're a shill for one of Candice's political opponents. It's laughably transparent.

Hmm, I wonder why your post count is so low? :)

I was going to say the same thing. Instead of repeating sexist remarks about Candice and calling her stupid (which is laughable to anyone who has actually worked with her), why not just endorse your candidate and point out the differences they will have to her policy positions? The Healy/Matsikoudis camp is already running a negative campaign so I suspect this may come from their team?

Why don't people that have a concern with any aspect of governance contact the department within cityhall of their concern and seek assistance from them.

I don't believe that councillors are private secretaries for every individual's request and an individual advocate of their issues.

There is a process to get things done and it would idiotic for a councillor to micromanage everyone's individual complaint.

If city hall staff screw-up, seek the manager / supervisor out, then the director and with all the relevant info in hand and you are still dissatisfied, look to councillors, noting they can't change legislation to suit your personal needs or wants!

She doesn't seem confident or stable enough in my opinion....social media reveals a lot about a person just saying people need to do their research!
